Plus you'll be talking something like travelling relative to time as a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. I could work out the maths, but I'm just going to do a random guesstimate and say it would make 0.1x10^-1000s difference, which would eventually be offset by the fact that everything averages out due to differing altitudes. So jumping on a horse at an altitude of 100ft would probably be the same as just being at 105ft.

If Person A and Person B want to go to Z (say 30 miles away) because some shop is giving away PS4s for free for the next hour and A is walking and B is in a car, then by the time A gets to Z the offer will have ended. < Proof

That's not travelling in time, though. A and B are both at the exact same moment in time, just in different physical places. That's not the same as "spacetime", which is dependent on the observer (ie, relativity).

Yes, I'm being very pedantic about a throwaway joke post, but I don't care.

Politico's upgraded it to murder after public pressure as far as I can tell.

I don't understand where that petition gets ideas about an unsafe vehicle though - all I can find on the internet was regarding an unsecured load. Unsecured load doesn't make you run a red light at crazy speeds.

I do wonder if they even have the right people. Seems a bit too convenient considering it would be like a needle in a haystack to find this lot in India. Find some bad guys, hang them. Settle down people.

Not a rigid way of life or system throughout. They can get away with it in these places most likely. Very sad.

RIA news agency quoted police in the city of Rostov-on-Don as saying a fight broke out between two men as they argued over Kant, the German author of Critique of Pure Reason, without giving details of their debate.

"In the course of the fight, the suspect took out a pistol firing rubber bullets and fired several shots at his opponent," it said, adding that one man was detained and the victim was taken to hospital. His life was not in danger.
